Traditionally used as a calendar to count down to Christmas, the original LEGO advent calendar was released in 1988 but didn’t become a Star Wars subtheme until 2011 when the first one, initially launched as a summer exclusive at San Diego Comic-Con, reached toy store shelves. Each set contains 24 small builds, from minifigures to micro-scale vehicles and accessories. Opening the final window reveals an exclusive festive minifigure.
